2. Remove shrimp and vegetables from skewers. Separate the shrimp and transfer to a bowl; refrigerate. Add the vegetables to the tomato mixture with the salt and black pepper. Cover and set aside at room temperature for 1 hour.

3. Working in 2 batches, in a blender, puree the vegetables with 3 tablespoons of the olive oil in each batch. Combine both batches in a large bowl and add sherry vinegar. Taste for seasoning and add more salt and pepper, if you like. At this point you can work the mixture through a fine mesh strainer for a thinner, more refined soup, or leave it as is for a chunkier, more rustic version.

4. Divide the gazpacho among 4 bowls, and garnish with shrimp and chives. Sydney Oland
